St. Bernard of Clairvaux

Product Description

Abbot, Confessor, Doctor of the Church (1091-1153). In all history no other man so dominated his times and influenced its people. He prophesied, cast out devils, worked miracles, destroyed heresy, single-handedly healed a schism, launched a crusade, advised popes, guided councils (6), ended a pogrom, accomplished every mission given him--yet was always sickly, took no joy in the world or pride in his successes, and ever longed to return to his cell. A story to make you weep.
